Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those who are needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frédéric Ozanam, and patron, St. Vincent de Paul.

As a reflection of the whole family of God, members, who are known as Vincentians, are drawn from every ethnic and cultural background, age group, and economic level. Vincentians are united in an international society of charity by their spirit of poverty, humility and sharing, which is nourished by prayer and reflection, mutually supportive gatherings and adherence to a basic Rule.

Organized locally, Vincentians witness God's love by embracing all works of charity and justice. The Society collaborates with other people of good will in relieving need and addressing its causes, making no distinction in those served because, in them, Vincentians see the face of Christ.

CTK ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY

The Christ the King St. Vincent de Paul Society has been meeting at CTK for over 30 years. They meet on the first Monday of each month at 5:30pm, unless noted in the Bulletin. Their major projects include the Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets for the needy, underwriting meals at St. John’s Breadline, contributions to non-profit organizations and emergency aid cases. The Chapter is strong and healthy, and it continues to serve the needs of the poor and disadvantaged. New members are always welcome. President: Mr. Terry Lucas
